We extend to you a cordial "WELCOME ABOARD !" Come on in, make yourself at home, we are a friendly group of enthusiasts, and we also appreciate the classic Chris Craft Roamer, Corsair, and Lancer boats too , as they are all on the same family tree and share much in common ! Just start by posting a note introducing yourself to the group, that's all it takes here (we don't ask for or retain any personal information here, because our intention is to just "have fun and share information".

Another photo ( cool solution, eh? )

This photo, more than any other, shows the aluminum plates mated up to the wood stringers nicely. I'll probably add some additional bolts, but for now things are looking mighty fine. The reason I didn't just make up another wood stringer, was the fact that I was afraid the other one would break in the same place. Therefore, I decided to reinforce both of them. I am very sure even the repaired one is now stronger than the original construction.

All of that is now done, thankfully. I can now concentrate on spinning that motor back around, placing it back on the stringers, and getting that new transmission (and the good exhaust manifolds) all bolted back in place. That should make for an exciting day (tomorrow) !
